Kucherov scored twice to lead the Lightning to a 3-1 victory against the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday. Tampa Bay extended its lead to four points over Boston for the top overall spot in the Eastern Conference less than 24 hours after a shutout loss at home to the Bruins.

"We weren't sitting in here pouting," said Lightning captain Steven Stamkos, who finished with two assists. "We thought we had a decent effort (against Boston) and we knew we wanted to improve on it."
